As many have said, in their own ways, you should open and try out the tools before you review them. Most of the "issues" with the tools was your lack of knowledge on how to use them correctly. And as you may have realized, trying to figure that out live on camera might not be your best option. But all in all, thanks for the review. In fact, it may have been your review that brought the Sign Pen to my attention. I use the sign pen all the time. It works marvelously and is super cheap. It also works well with Copics, has a nice black and resists erasing. You can get some nice line variance - not has much as a brush, but still very good. I'd recommend them to anyone seeing this video.
I kind of like going on the journey with the person reviewing stuff, so you can see what to do and not to do, etc. So I show the first opening of the package, as if you're sitting there with me. Just think: now all of the people who see this will know not to squeeze the pen so much! Haha. Thanks for the comment, though.
I love those pentel sign pens too, cheap as dirt and so much fun to use. Picked one up just to try it out because they where like 1.29 or something and liked it so much I bought all black pens and one of each coloured pens the store had on a later visit.
This pen, once you get past the learning curve, is a great tool to have in your arsenal. Squeeze it enough to fill a bit of the first chamber, then the ink wicks onto the brush. There is a brief amount of time between priming the chamber and the ink actually coming out of the tip of the bristle. You can also have a paper towel handy and wipe the bristles off a bit, so when you use it on the paper you can get an awesome dry brush effect. After awhile, you can unscrew the ink reservoir, clean the bristles in cool water, dry it off and put the used ink cartridge back on again or a fresh one for that matter. You will know when you need to pick up a new brush because the bristles will be worn enough to where you cannot achieve a crisp line. Of course the brush is still good for blocking in dark areas. Also, it is best to store this pen bristles up...although it is not mandatory. Google Peter Han. He, Karl Kopinsky and Kim Jung Gi use this pen and they make it sing. Getting long-winded but there are two different versions of this pen: 1. The Pentel Color Brush Pen (not waterproof) 2. The Pentel Pigment Color Brush Pen (waterproof)
I've bought the first one that's showed in the video (specifically the 3.6) and the ink flow started to get wide even though I pressed the brush subtlety on the paper,- I thought that the problem was happening due to me possibly pressing it too much first -, but minutes later I couldn't get an direct line without it being dry. Should I press it more? I've also watched some videos of people drawing with it, so it isn't some fault in my hands.
Just say'in, brah. What's the point of commenting that this entire video is "useless" just because I squeezed the pen?! Why does squeezing the pen make the entire video useless? The ink wasn't flowing, so I gave it a squeeze. Maybe if someone else had reviewed all of these pens before I bought them I would have known which ones to buy and how to use them. Instead I chose to buy a few and review them to help others that might be wondering how they handle. So why be so critical? Or right...it's UA-cam comments.
You squeezed way too hard. You should have let gravity do it for you, or you should have squeezed gently. It's not a penis, so don't treat it like one.
@@ArtGuidesOnline I three years later * Stop squeezing !! Haha But seriously you don't have to be so rude, just admit that you didn't know how it worked, and you screwed it up. And yes, your video was useful now I know what should NOT be done.
Even i really got sick of this pentel brush.....Its so costly & really not worth it!! It started leaking heavily for me from handle & i dont know how to fix it!! Totally crap
“Oh it’s dripping “ squeezes more ink “look it’s dripping more”. 🤦♂️. Try reading the instructions.

The ink only spilled because you squeezed it too many times and too much, a little does a long way for that first brush pen
Nice review! I've been using the first brush for a few years now for larger projects, this gives me insight into doing ink washes with it. Thanks!
great video review! may i ask how much the price for each pen?
What kind of paper /card are you drawing onto?
Strathmore bristol board, vellum surface.

Oh wow, thanks a lot for this information, I just got my brush pens today

+Art Guides ;-; dud calm down,
@@ArtGuidesOnline yeah dud calm down you need to understand that your getting bad reviews so maybe try better next time buddy.
@artguide what kind of paintbrush did you use?
Just some old paint brush I had laying around. Probably a no. 2 sable or something.
STOP SQUEEZING IT! 🤓
Mate why did you squeeze it at the beginning.
It wasn't flowing. So I gave 'em a squeeze.
You squeezed way too hard. You should have let gravity do it for you, or you should have squeezed gently. It's not a penis, so don't treat it like one.
Thanks for the amazing advice...a year later...after I already did it...
You help people by being a troll? Keep up the great work!

Bruh he was just sketching but I can't do those eyes even if I really tried.
Sure you could! Just practice until it's second nature.
Even i really got sick of this pentel brush.....Its so costly & really not worth it!! It started leaking heavily for me from handle & i dont know how to fix it!! Totally crap
ALL THAT INK WASTED AAAAHHHHHHHH
Good drawing tho wow
stop squeezing!!!!
other then that, good review. lol
Yeah, I learned from this experience. ;-)
No apretes tanto, que no es una manga pastelera, o si lo és.
they say it gets messy with these pens
Not really. I have it and unless you put your hand on the ink before it dries it's not messy. The ink dries pretty quick actually.
Why is everyone saying not to squeeze it? lol what happens??
Because you're not supposed to squeeze it that hard, otherwise the ink overflows and drips, like in the video.
In other words, most are crap.
